Almost Animecon 2012 in Almelo!
Just a few more weeks and then I can experience another Anime convention here in the Netherlands. I will be going to Anime 2012 Apocalypse Cow in Almelo (Theater Hotel Almelo) in the Netherlands the weekend of 18-20th of May. I’ll be there for the whole weekend, staying at the Theater Hotel with my cousin Yuzu and my friends Marloes and Debby.
This year I want to cosplay for the first time~ WHAT? YA!
I haven’t completed my costume yet but I’m almost there. I’m not sure what I will wear on the other days but expect me to be cosplayed as Yoko Littner from the Anime: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann on Saturday. Just to give you guys a little sneak peek, these are the basic things I have so far. The top (which I made myself, which was a PAIN, not completely satisfied with it. Either way, I can’t do better because I don’t have a sewing machine and it already took me a LOT of time to get this far. So I’ll just deal with it.) and the shorts. I have a belt, though it’s just a regular white belt at the moment as I wait for my ordered studs. The wig on the other picture, and this is just the basic wig, so I wasn’t wearing the ponytail and of course the hairpin which I made from a “Skull Hairpin”-keychain and used a hot glue gun to attach it onto a hairclip.

don't mind the bad quality of the left pic :c
Other things I have so far are the scarf, the stockings and the boots. I still want to get new circle lenses if I have enough money left, if not I will probably wear the ones that I wear in this picture which are black ones, though my own eye color still shows. So far I’m happy with the result, the top looks good enough even though I think I could’ve done better. But! This was only my first time ever doing something like this. Also with Cutting the bangs of my wig, turned out alright, I didn’t want to get side swept bangs because I usually don’t like it on wigs and I think that it suits me better to have straight bangs. I don’t know if I have time left to make the sniper rifle, I had wanted to and my dad was willing to help me. Though because of public transport I have no idea if I’ll be able to bring the whole thing with me (especially since I travel from the airport), if I decide not to make it now I will probably do so later for a funshoot of this cosplay.
I hope to see you at Anime2012! I might update my cosplay process later on.
